Angry Dead deer on bike path, authorities don't care


Despite my E, I am able to ride a bike. Last Thursday or Friday, a deer was hit by a car, then dumped on the bike/ped path. Getting the deer removed is like pulling teeth. The city says it is not their problem, so I called the state. I hope the state removes the deer. Because it stinks.

That is the painfully obvious answer. But government officials even at the state and local level love giving people the run-a-round in the DC-Metro region. Some citizens just add to the problem by just thinking 'Oh, Someone else can take care of it, I don't have the time'.

The deer in question is on the sidewalk of a state road, past the portion that the city is responsible for.

Two years ago, there was a large crack all the way across one road. When I reported it, I got bounced around between two different city public works departments, neither of them wanting to take responsibility.

Last year, I reported that a road maintenance crew had left the concrete base of the original location of the traffic light pole in the sidewalk causing me to crash on my bike. Neither the city, nor the state wanted to take responsibility for the error.

Call the local news station. Let them know of your condition and that you can't get any help and that they are not accommodating YOU, a taxpayer, which pays their paychecks.

I checked today. Sometime between this past Tuesday, and today, the deer was 'removed'. Since it was raining pretty much Tuesday evening through to 12pm yesterday, the probable 'body snatcher' was, wolves n' coyotes, no government entity.

Just to let you know, it wasn't so much how long it took for the deer to be 'removed', but the continuous shifting of responsibility by the various forms of government and the private sector.
